organic interdependence
“If someone could choose a life with no pain, no debt, no rebuilding — why would they choose me?”
a human question after collapse. cuz to the old me, love is about optimal alignment and minimal burden.
now i am living with a new kind of bond, where presence lives in emotional resonance, safety, life energy between us, and shared meaning… instead of resume and liability spreadsheet.
i am still in shock. and most of the time feeling unworthy. like a burnt mountain.
and the spontaneous green arrived unexpectedly covering the scar.
i feel more human and more myself and quietly nourished in this relationship.
i feel being together in balance without accounting. small unremarkable acts of care. like i put away his dishes, do his bed, and he cleans when i arrive, cooks without complaint.
i feel many things weren’t negotiated. forced. but they are naturally responding to real life.
i feel our closeness doesn’t need to start from capture. his generosity doesn’t erase agency, and our blurred boundary doesn’t mean danger.
i feel i want to help, share and stay, by choice. and we both give and receive. and i don’t need to track it.
i feel i am not coping with him, but i am co-regulating with him.
organic interdependence grows at a speed of wind.
i guess, in the end, love is not a math problem you must solve to keep.
(love always entered as a reward in the past, and now this is overwhelmingly profound because it’s revealing to me that intimacy can exist alongside chaos, and i can survive this gift. i am in the intersection of awe, fear, gratitude and sadness, and many more dimensions. and it hits so differently. )
